Purpose and Request:
recommended action
The applicant, Arcadia Creek, LLC, is seeking approval to subdivide a 1.92-acre parcel into two single-family lots with a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet. The proposed lots are located in Arapahoe County and are part of a gated 55+ age-restricted development situated in both Jefferson and Arapahoe Counties. The Arcadia Creek development will consist of 25 detached single-family homes, 23 in Jefferson County and two in Arapahoe County. Access to this development will be from W. Leawood Drive (in Jefferson County) and W. Christensen Lane (in Arapahoe County). Access to W. Leawood Drive is an important feature; in the event of flooding, the proposed lots would have egress through Jefferson County. A 20-foot-wide private drive within the subject parcel will connect W. Christensen Lane to the project's development within Jefferson County.

Christensen Lane). This residence can use the existing private drive on the subject property through an access easement.
